In August of 2006, I changed career fields and had to go to Biloxi Mississippi for my Tech School. We were stationed in Utah at the time. It was a 4 week school, so I decided to drive. I crossed 7 states each way, and a lot of them were new to me, so I was pretty excited. It had only been a year since Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast.

I love to travel! Love to "see the sights!" I decided to start this travel blog to add some story to our trips. As it is now, I upload the pictures to some site, and that's about it. This blog will allow us to tell the story that goes with the pictures (and help remind me of any details I forget down the road ;)). I will try my hardest to add new trips to this blog in a timely manner! If you find that I post something that happened ages ago, it's probably that I forgot to post about it and just randomly came across the pictures! Hope you enjoy! ... full info

Completely gutted

Gutted

Biloxi Beach and Casino row in the distance

Relocated boat

After the storm, this boat was in the middle of the road. They moved it alongside the road, and it has since been put back to its original location.

The Grand Casino

Most of the buildings along the shore were completed gutted up to 2 floors. This casino has been relocated and rebuilt. The Beau Rivage and Hard Rock casinos stand here now.

Biloxi Beach and the Gulf

Storm damage

Again, a house on the coast.

Rebuilt next to damaged

There was sand everywhere. Piles and piles of it as far as 3 blocks away from the beach!

Along Beach Blvd (hwy 90)

Completely gutted

Feeding the Gulls

The only open beach

This was the only stretch of beach that was open for use. The rest were roped off.

I was supposed to be at the Beau Rivage the weekend Katrina hit, the convention that I was supposed to go to was canceled...just in case. I was in New Orleans a month before Katrina, and I haven't been back since, it was one of my favorite cities.

Wow
It's so sad with what happened when Katrina hit. You picture what it could look like but I guess once you see it thru pictures or first hand experience, you never are quite ready for what you're going to see. Great pictures!
